This gorgeous Liam’s Map filly was bred by Siena Farm. Liam’s Map was a dual Grade One winner of the Woodward and the Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile, setting a record in the latter. The mare, Zayanna was unplaced in two starts for Siena Farm before retiring to their broodmare band. The filly here is a half to two foals of racing age, both being winners. The first is a 3YO of 2017 by Lonhro, undefeated in 3 starts and a listed stakes winner. The other is a 2YO by Jimmy Creed, named Admiral Jimmy. The colt was a debut winner for Todd Pletcher. The pedigree on the filly shows inbreeding to Fappiano (4Sx5D), Mr. Prospector (5Sx5D), and Forty Niner (5Sx4D). Both Fappiano and Forty Niner are sons of Mr. Prospector. Northern Dancer also has influence through sons Lyphard and Storm Bird. There is also influence from Ta Wee, Damascus, Seattle Slew, Spectacular Bird, and Tabasco Cat. Overall, this filly is likely to be a dirt runner who should be a nice miler type who has the ability to likely go a bit longer. If she goes to the sale, she is likely to bring some attention.

Uncle Mo was, in 2016, the #1 Second-Crop sire, #3 National sire, and #3 Kentucky sire, in company with the likes of Tapit and Curlin.

The mare is a 2008 daughter of Seeking the Gold (Mr. Prospector) and producer of two named foals, only one being a runner and winner. The mare is also a 3/4 sibling to Santa Catarina (Unbridled), a Grade Three winner and a four-time Grade One placed runner, including a 3rd in the 2002 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies and 2nd in the 2003 Kentucky Oaks.

With a filly like this one, the potential is endless. The filly is by 2006 Preakness, Travers, and Jockey Club Gold Cup winner Bernardini and out of the graded stakes placed Empire Maker mare, Artemis. The pedigree on the filly shows inbreeding to Fappiano (4Sx4D), Mr. Prospector (5Sx5D), Killaloe (5Sx5D), Secretariat (4Sx5D), and Northern Dancer (5Sx5D). The Northern Dancer comes through sons son El Gran Senor and daughter Northern Fable. The pedigree is geared toward stamina. The mare was by a Belmont Stakes winner (Empire Maker), out of a mare by a dual classic winner (Smarty Jones), and Bernardini has sired endless amounts of classic type horses who get better with age and maturity. The pedigree also boasts influence from Buckpasser, Spectacular Bid, Boldnesian, Dr. Fager, and Gone West (another son of Mr. Prospector). This filly should bring considerable attention at the sales (if she goes, as Siena Farm maintains a racing stable as well), and should get better with distance and age. She will more than likely be a dirt runner.

This piece of horseflesh is graded stakes placed Alaura Michele, a daughter of Arch, and her first foal, a 2017 filly by Curlin. Curlin stands at Hill n’ Dale farm along side other Breeders’ Cup winners Midnight Lute, Secret Circle, New Years Day, and Bayern.

The stallion has sired classic winners like Exaggerator, Palace Malice, and other stakes winners and champions Stellar Wind, Curalina, and Irish War Cry. The filly shows inbreeding only from Northern Dancer (5Sx5D) through sons Vice Regent, Danzig, Nijinsky II, and Sadler’s Wells (the last two being in the fifth generation). Mr. Prospector also shows up in the pedigree through sons Smart Strike and Gone West (in the fifth generation). There is additional influence from Sir Ivor, Alydar (another son of Raise a Native), Hail to Reason, and Princequillo. The filly should be highly attractive to buyers for both breeding and racing reasons. The filly is bred on a cross which has produced multiple top turf runners, such as The Pizza Man (English Channel/Lear Fan) and Class Leader (Smart Strike/Kris S.). Overall, this filly should find two turns on the turf to her liking.
